High amounts of muscle mass equate to high levels of testosterone which is the primary male sex hormone. Unless you're homosexual, or have a fetish, women who showcase masculine characteristics are deemed unattractive, and this stems from our biological makeup. The same applies in the reverse. Women aren't too attracted to feminine men.
Generally, when one deviates away from a biological or societal norm, they will be ridiculed and ostracized by the masses.
Granted, this isn't black & white. There is grey area. For instance, let's consider that the average testosterone levels for an adult male ranges from 300ng/dl to 1100 ng/dl. That's a wide range, right? Well for that reason, a man with 300ng/dl might be more attracted to a woman who has higher than average testosterone levels. That's typically how it goes.
Masculine and Feminine energy are the fundamentals of the typical dynamic in a relationship whether you're straight or homosexual. The dominant partner is almost always the one who possesses more testosterone. Feminine energy by nature is more nurturing rather than decisive authority. Women are this way because of their low levels of testosterone and high levels of estrogen.
The endocrine system is extremely interesting if you ever have to time to study up on it. But hopefully this answers your question.

I see no problems, except if she is overly muscular.
I like moderately muscular, athletic girls, who are fit and nicely toned.
My ideal type of girls look like these girls:
Because they're intimidated by them...
Their loss. My goal is to be a fit, muscular woman and I'm proud of that! I lift weights 2-4 times a week. And not just little 3 or 5 pound dumbbells either: REAL, heavy weights. And work all my muscle groups: upper, lower body, and abs.
Everyone assumes if a woman is muscular, she's not "feminine" or looks masculine. There are plenty of women that lift weights and still look beautiful and feminine!!! As a matter of fact, it's been proven that women that lift and have muscle are more toned and have a more defined figure than women that don't lift.
Brcause a lot of people like to put muscles with masculinity, whereas femininity is having a delicate and soft body type.
Sadly, the women above would be shamed by women and men alike for "looking" like men, when they are just women with muscles.
But, everyone's gonna have a problem no matter what so it's best to just do what makes you happy and not give a flying pie what others think.

There's nothing wrong with women having muscles, there is limit though natural hormone level. It's true that natural hormones play a part in womens bodies but females can train moderately heavy/heavy too. The "high reps-light weight" nonsense should be forgotten. Bodybuilding with all the skin-tight muscularity is far from what it used to be back in 80's and 90's the size they're today is all drugs! Natural gym training women do not get that big. If you want to go to the gym and train, do it! One does not turn into a Hulk overnight 😁 it takes time and effort. Take a look at Jessica Biel in Stealth and Blade:Trinity, she did train and looked great;not a ripped fitnesscompetitor but a healthy woman with fatburning muscle, you have to remember that muscle burns fat. And as you get older 50s 60's 70s the more muscle you have, the better you function in later life. Think about that, do you want to be fit and moving in your 70's... take a look around you and how many fit elderly people you see around?
Just preferences.
I know guys who love this body type and guys who don't like it.
Some like skinny girls, some like thick girls, some love fat girls, some like muscular girls.
Everyone gets hate no matter what body type. Skinny girls get told "eat a burger", thick/fat girls "need to exercise and stop eating", muscular girls "need to be more feminine".
In society you just can't do it right..I have no idea why people seem to have trouble with muscular women.
I love muscular women, personally. There's nothing more impressive or attractive to me than a woman who clearly trains.
Personally, everyone I know who has a problem with muscular women has a big inferiority complex.A muscular woman isn't a problem. A that is lean to the point where you wouldn't be able to tell she is a woman if she didn't have a vagina, that's a problem.
Celeste Bonin. In tremendous shape, plenty of muscle, more than you would expect to see on most fit women, and she still looks feminine and very attractive.
This is NOt attractive. It's pretty repulsive. As a person, I don't care. If that's what makes you happy go for it but to me, that is not the slightest bit attractive.It's all about preference. Some idiots here would say "Oh because they are insecure". If that's the case, then I would be a racist because I don't feel attracted to women from a certain type of race. Only the truth is, it has nothing to do with insecurity, but all with preference. Some men like really muscular women, other men (most of them) like more girly feminine women. I like a little bit of muscle on a girl that shows she is in shape, but not the point where she starting to look jacked (like the 1st and 2nd picture).
Absolutely nothing!!! I adore my body when it's fit and ripped... But I don't train hard enough to maintain my six pack😭
The real reason in my opinion is the women its the people that make the derogatory remarks.
That is society in general. Men are to look like Greek Gods & Roman warriors, while the females are to be helpless with full plump breast & gluteus last but not least soft ivory skin. Every one wants bodies like this but not everyone is will to put the dedication in to achieve that physique. Men in general feel offended but a woman that has a better body then he does. I've dated a few women that had & still have Greek Goddess body to this day. I think women that look like this are GORGEOUS & most dedicated loyal & faithful to their men.Fit does NOT mean healthy, quite the contrary.
In order to look like one of those "women", you have to use steroids and/or other enhancing substances, and we all know what kind of damage they can cause to a body.
Furthermore, I often read the word "sexy" associated to a body.
Does everything in people's mind have to revolve solely around sex? We live in a sick society with an even sicker mentality.
But finally, those "women" do whatever they want with their bodies as long as I am not subjected to them. It is their prerogative to live a fit, albeit a healrhy life.
Let's see their bodies in 50 years from now, provided they live that long...Any time men don't like something about women:
"Insecure insecure insecure"
"He's just intimidated"
"He just can't handle a strong woman"
Really? If a guy can't get a date with a woman, is it because they're intimidated by him, and can't handle him? Or is it just because he's not attractive?
When he tells himself that it's because he's too nice, is that true? Or is that more of a cope, a way to avoid admitting that he's just not attractive?
I don't even have a problem with women lifting. I think it's a good thing as long as they aren't taking steroids.I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it and these women are taking very good care of their bodies and health.. I think it’s just personal preference on who men and women find attractive.. for me I don’t find muscly men attractive but that’s just my opinion..
No problem with it... but the human mind sees a man.. when introduced to muscular builds. DO A SHADOW TEST... when given just a blank black image of a man and woman side by side.. there is no question... do same test with muscular man and woman side by side with same style hair... the mind dode not become attracted to either one when you are told one is a woman... men are hardwired in the brain to like feminen women... That being said... NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A MUSCULAR WOMAN... LONG AS YOU DONT TAKE IT TOO FAR.. otherwise we just see you as a slightly more pretty dude..
Because they can't achiev it them selves 🤣🤣 so they start hating. Haters are best motivation, then comes those who skips leg day in second place. These women are BEASTS ❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪
For the same reason why they ridicule women who are overweight, or have a different hair do, etc. People judge relentlessly because they are bullies. That's how it goes. They take out their transgressions on other people because they're too insecure to do anything to make themselves better.
A lot of rotten people in this world. Don't pay them any mind.I much rather bang a buff chic than a very fat one. With muscle all you have to do is stop lifting to make it go away. It’s also a sign of hard work on her end. Being fat is the opposite.
It is slightly “freakish” for women to look this way. But still better looking than BBWs. The girl in the second pic is way hot by the way.Many people view the look as too masculine. But if that is the case, that would mean men who don't have muscles look too femanine.
I love to see defined muscles on a women or man. I especially love the shape of bodybuilders. Their body looks sculpted. It's the epitome if perfection to me personallyI dont think there is a problem. They probably just face the same struggle as tall women. Where only tall guys are comfortable dating them but there only few guys taller then them. My guess is only guys who are really in shape are comfortable dating them but they are in better shape then most guys limiting there options
I do exercise everyday but damn nowhere near what those girls do. I barely have time to work out myself
To each his own and beauty is in the eye of the beholder but, a muscular woman is like an effeminate male in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with that but it goes against the norm so you may find less people that find that attractive but that does not mean that it is not (just for a smaller percentage of people).
Nothing is wrong with it. Personally I prefer non comp fat percentage, but I find off season female bodybuilders can be really hot personally. Love naturally muscular backs, thighs and arms on a woman. It can be very feminine. And women can get very strong pound for pound.
Because they're not attractive to 99.99% of men. You keep coming on this page and posting pics of your wife, and mate, I'm not being rude, but a lot of the comments are not nice. Why do you think that is? It doesn't matter what other people think, if you two are happy, then that's all that counts. And there will be other people out there like you, on a FB group or something. You can't change what people find 'attractive' by asking them to like something just because you do.
